According to Kienast, a well-designed plan to keep players refreshed and ready for game time paid off.

“We left earlier, and our principal worked well with us to make sure everything worked smoothly,” he said. “Along the way we got to eat, allowed players to rest, but also woke them up at a reasonable time so they couple get off the bus refreshed and ready to go.”

Despite dominating the first half of play, the Trojans were only up by seven at halftime. A squad rather inconsistent in its play coming out of the break, Kienast was rather pleased to see his team push forward in the second half, never allowing host Palmetto Scholars to gain any momentum.

“Our players really responded well. We were able to push the lead back out to double digits with a quick start,” he said. “One of our starters was sick and not able to play. But our whole bench stepped up and played some key minutes for us.

In addition to Jackson’s big night, also scoring in double figures was Jalinda Johnson with 11 points for Green Sea Floyds.
